We have to be certain about your engine before we can help. What makes you think it's an "EAB"? Even though you can't read what's on top of the bellhousing with the engine in the car, you should be able to see if it has an extended bell or not. Look down at the side of the rear of the engine; are the bolts holding it together within an inch or so of the back of the engine or are they back 3 or 4 inches? Does it have an unconventional looking distributor in the middle of the front of the engine or a more regular looking one at the front of the right head?

And yes there is a difference in fan belts between the "EAB" and the earlier engines. The "EAB" uses two narrow belts, unless it has been converted to truck pumps, in which case it will one wide belt.
